Off the Beaten Path
A Different Road to Motherhood
Part Two
By Kathleen Sorabella
Through hosting, my earlier unanswered question of "Why me?" posed to the heavens has finally been answered. I didn't do anything wrong. There is a greater plan for us and it just took us this long to find out what that plan is. We have so much love to offer, and there are many children out there who need loving parents like Carl and me. Just as we firmly believe that we were meant to find one another, we believe we are meant to find one of those children, and one of them is meant to find us. The search merely isn't over yet. And like life, it's not about the goal sometimes – it's about the journey. And all along this journey I have learned, cried, healed and grown up quite a bit. It was a test on my relationship with Carl as something that could have easily torn our marriage apart, but it has instead pulled us closer together.
I am infertile and have never adopted, but I have six children throughout three different countries. And I love them all.
